If you do not meet these qualifications, we may still accept your application with a higher deposit. We do accept those who are credit challenged but not any prior evictions in the last two years.

Who mows the yard?

It’s important to remember that this is a home and not an apartment. You are responsible to maintain the exterior of the home. This includes mowing, trimming, weeding, cleaning gutters, and maintaining a generally pleasing exterior.

What’s the lease term?

Our standard lease terms are 12 months.

Do you require Renter’s Insurance (also known as Contents Insurance)?

No, but we do encourage it for your protection. It protects the contents of your home against theft or damage from fire, water, etc. You can select the insurance company of your choice, and it’s very inexpensive. For example, a $25,000 contents policy may only cost $10 or $11 per month. Money well spent protecting yourself.
